Bookbabble Episode 29: You’ve got me feeling emotions!
Recorded 22 March 2009
Babblers: Gem, Renee, Donny
Synopsis:
After Gem begins with a terribly tragic story of her beloved Dalek doll, the babblers launch into a discussion on books that elicit strong emotions from its readers. Find out which books still emotionally affect Renee since she was 6 till this very day (which I understand is not a very long time at all), and Gem’s as well (it goes without saying that Donny doesn’t cry from reading). Besides sadness, the babblers also talked a little about books that elicit anger, horror. Finally, Renee closes with a heart-warming story of a long-lost textbook.
